(P.A.) CHRISTCHCRCH, this day. "If. as it seems, there is going to be traffic created, I am going to draw attention to the fact that the Courts can impose a penalty of imprisonment without the option and, if offences persist, I will do that," said Mr. 10. C. Pevvey. S.M., in the Magistrate's Court this morning when Linton Rayner Bolt, aged 17, and Maurice McMillan, aged 20. were charged with making purchases of petrol of a kind not authorised by the Oil Fuel Emergency Regulations.
